I remember Wolves brought loads down in the Bull/Mutch era. Think it was the first game of one season back in the 80s.
Not quite. I think that the North West/East corners were in the final stages of completion, so the capacity was about 28,000. Shoot me down me down if I'm wrong.I was thinking that - all of the ground expansions were already completed by then weren't they?

popped into the Brewers in lewes on the waywas end of season game , but was their relegation party !
BUNCH OF TRAMPSAnd they beat us, about 4-0 if I remember rightly
Port Vale brought loads to the Goldstone that time they got promoted. I seem to remember Birmingham used to bring a lot down too.
Remember that, though not sure it was that many to be honest. They invaded the pitch and headed to where we were in the North, everyone was expecting it to kick off and all that happened was a load of handshakes.
When was it, 93/94?
Just done a little research! 7th May 1994 and the crowd was over 15,000. Maybe they did bring that many, afterall!
That figure rings a bell, I think you're right.Bizarrely I rmember Vale brought 5500. Don't ask me how, but John Rudges army arrived at the goldstone in their hoardes or a promotion party. So Arsenal got some catching up to do if they're to mix it with the big away followings
You're right, it was October 1978. I can't find an on-line record of the attendance but remember it was one of the biggest of that era. 32,000 rings a bell. We lost 2-1.
I was 13 and at that time, stood in the south. I remember loads of West Ham in there and sure enough, it kicked-off. Some of us ended up on the pitch trying to escape the West Ham menace.
From Tim Carder's book: Attd was 32,634. 80 arrests and a 72 yr old supporter died after being crushed on the east terrace.
I cant be the only one who finds it fuvking annoying that we have to give them such a big allocation.
Southampton FA Cup QF in 1986 I'm guessing they had 5-6K. Palace claim to have brought a massive following 5-7K in the early days of the rivalry (pre-Challis).chelsea & spurs for sure,probably pompey night match (4-0)
saints & palace probably just shy of that total (but good turn outs)
man utd first season in old div 1 very posssibly

Leeds were mentioned in OP. I remember them doing a Mexican Wave on the East Terrace and singing "worst support we've ever seen" at the North Stand...Surprised Leeds not mentioned. They had the entire east terrace when they were promoted under Howard Wilkinson. They had as many locked out. Other than that, Chelsea had the entire East in the late 80s as did Arsenal. Biggest away turn outs by a long way that I can remember.
